LeBron James surprised his high school sweetheart Savannah Brinson by proposing her at a New Year’s Eve 2012 bash at Shelborne South Beach’s SL Nightclub in Miami over the weekend. The basketball superstar asked Savannah who is also the mother of his two children 7-year-old LeBron Jr. and Bryce to marry him at a party both to celebrate New Year's Eve and his 27th birthday, which was Friday. In the early hours of 2012, Miami Heat owner Micky Arison tweeted the couple well wishes, writing, "Congrats to Lebron. @KingJames and Savannah so happy 4 u guys."

The party attended by the couple’s sons, as well as James’ Miami Heat teammates Dwyane Wade (with girlfriend Gabrielle Union) and Chris Bosh, rapper Nas and Gloria James, his mother. LeBron James and Savannah Brinson have been a couple since James’ playing days at St. Vincent-St. Mary High School in Akron, Ohio. Shortly after LeBron James infamously announced that he would be taking his prodigious talents from the couple's home state to South Beach during "The Decision" in July 2010, Savannah Brinson admitted that Miami wasn't her first-choice destination and even discussed her hopes for marriage with Harper's Bazaar although no wedding date has been announced.
